Report by Martin Brolin about activities in the Superstruct ARG.

It's the world's first massively multiplayer forecasting game.

• 5 supertreats are identified for the year 2019, GEAS volunteers (players) are joining in this game to find solutions.
• You can file a report about your 2019 experiences (story)
• you can discuss strategies
• you can find new ways to collaborate, or build solutions (superstruct)

• filed a report about how an organization (Tsunamipants Un-Ltd.) has grown from a movement of part-time survival-engineering enthusiasts to become the worlds leading knowledge base on portable solutions to surviving extreme weather, disease and guerilla warfare.
• Joined Urban Gardening initiatives and set up Superstructs for protection of urban gardens from poaching and bio-piracy.
• Set up initiative to connect Urban gardens with green corridors for pollinators.
• Superstruct: The turn of the millennium saw many great new ideas and initiatives, Permaculture, Cradle to Cradle and many more… What happened to them anyway?
• Set up 'GEAS volunteers coordination Superstructs' for all continents and one for international waters.
• Put out call for 'First Aid hacks' among amateur survival engineers.
• First medical hack: the Darun Setan ZD-314 series of fruitjuicers can be hacked as an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrilator.
• Second medical hack: Nasal purifier can be made from: http://www.cpapman.com/DREAMFIT.JPG
• Report: Botanical sanctuaries and national parks are plundered for possible cure against ReDS (a disease in 2019).
• Report: The Association of European Zoo-s is organizing a quarantine of all primates against ReDS to Gibraltar.
• Joined P2P Medical Care superstruct.
• Report: Fruitfly navigated ReDS reconnaissance ROV, blueprints available for fabbers.

• hacking homo sapience: ways we can exploited our own primate behaviours.
• criticism against the prolific use of urban gardening and solarpanels as solutions to all problems everywhere.
• most activity until day 4 is mainly targeting niche problems or very general philosophy, the organizational stuff looks very Western, with a lot of fabbing, hacking and gardening involved. The stories that are written are very personal, while the strategic things are written rather dry and impersonal.
• Cross-species-politics: artificial intelligence, human enhancement and human rights for all Great apes diffuse old borders.
• Viral sovereignty: any pathogen found local to a state (whether existing in nature or engineered) is the inherent intellectual property of that state.
• Cross-Species Politics: obvious.

• This looks like much more text-based than I thought and there is very little contact between players so far.
• Some people use the game to promote their site / idea, I guess I do that too, I've put my survival engineering research in there.
• Third day of the game the first criticism of 'unrealistic' forecasting has appeared. I view this as the first signs of real discussion.
• The actual superstructing is quite ineffective, you set up your kind of structure for people to join. Then some join it, and then nothing happens any more. Within this superstructing-set-up there is not enough infrastructure for people to work together.

• player-skills should have been searchable so you can connect to people you need.
